    Throwback......to when movies were good

    This was a very welcome and pleasant surprise

    Throwback to the 80s and 90s era of good writing, good characters and great cast, rather than the exec driven crap the dominates cinema today.

    A movie about life and respect for the elder, wiser generations, which is all but lost just now.

    Lovely family film.

    Slow but rewarding ride

    If you're old, life isn't over. That's the crux of the story. It has a big heart and it eventually wins you over.

    Sure it's slow. Yes it's pretty unrealistic. And it can be cheesy at times, but for the most part, it's a touching story of trying to fulfill your dream at any age.

    Richard Dreyfuss, as always, is great. His performance holds it all together, though there are some other good performances too.

    Leading a fulfilling life is important but it's not all about your dreams. It's those who surround us who make it truly worthwhile. Ultimately, it's about family.

    Great Family Film

    One of the movies that takes you back to times which reminds you of the greatest relationships between grandparents and the child.

    BRILLIANT HEARTWARMING MOVIE OF THE DECADE

    In a nutshell: The Astronaut is a brilliant heartwarming movie ! Period !

    Dreams can come true

    If only for the sake of having one of your biggest and longest dreams of your life come true, Richard Dreyfus made me a believer; and in turning 60 years old soon enough; I only hope this becomes a reality for me some day too. Cheers to all dreamers and astronauts, great 🎥
